Hi @berwin.

Does you fingerprint change here: http://clientjs.jacks.io/ ?

I can't seem to reproduce that issue on any of my browsers, or mobile devices.

Can you let me know what browser/device you are using?

These are the data points that make up your 32bit integer fingerprint, I wonder if any of these are dynamically changing:

  • user agent
  • screen print
  • color depth
  • current resolution
  • available resolution
  • device XDPI
  • device YDPI
  • plugin list
  • font list
  • local storage
  • session storage
  • timezone
  • language
  • system language
  • cookies
  • canvas print

@berwin - given that this seems to be hard to debug, and I can't reproduce the issue, I think this project should have better debugging methods so we can get useful data to work with. I'll keep this issue open and work on something to address the debug issues we are having.

@berwin - your not using PhoneGap right? That was a problem for Issue #1
